Not everyone survived-actually only a few did. Some were sent to a concentration camp against their will. To get to the camp most people had to go on a 4-9 day train ride. Most people died on the way to the camp.

The kind of camp that one was sent to was crucially important. The chances of survival at an extermination camp were very remote indeed. For example, there are only 2 (yes, two) known survivors from Belzec, an extermination camp, and 434,508 Jews and an unknown number of Romanies (gypsies) were slaughtered there. (This is the only extermination camp for which a precise figure for the number of Jews killed is available).
The chances of survival at an 'ordinary' concentration camp, such as Dachau or Buchenwald, were better. Other key factors included state of health on arrival and the kind of work one had to do in the camps.
Some well known survivors include:
In most cases there were special circumstances that enabled them to survive. For example, Esther Bejarano was recruited into the Auschwitz Women's Orchestra, which was given adequate food by the SS, so that it could function, so that it could play when the women were marched off to work in the mornings - and, most macabre of all, during executions.
